This paper shows that horizontal gene transfer methods can detect ghost lineages in phylogenies, revealing hidden diversity despite lack of genomic data.

The paper quantifies Prdm9-independent recombination hotspots in 52 mammals, finding that these hotspots are common and often coexist with Prdm9-directed hotspots.

Zombi simulates species, genomes, and sequences evolution, including extinct lineages and speciation/extinction rate variations.
